Where are the comfortable shoes??

October 14th, 2008

OK, I give. I went to Northpark and Galleria the other day. Money was burning a hole in my pocket. I hit all the big ones, Barney’s (my fave), Neimans, Nordstroms, and Saks While the shoes looked great, they had two consistent features. Ballet flats (which I have a gazillion of) and FMP’s. You figure that one out…I mean WHO can where these shoes? Maybe Diane Sawyer and Robin Roberts cuz they just sit there and cross their legs and show off the kick ass shoes. But the rest of us? I know I am especially sensitive right now because of a foot injury, but even before, I could never find a good pair of mid heel shoe. Come on, they can be cute! Anyone feel the same as me out there???

In praise of the tall boot

October 21st, 2008

I know ankle booties are all the rage this season (bought a couple pair myself), but in my book, nothing beats a beautiful knee-high boot. Here are a few that have caught my eye.

First up, Coclico’s Obama boot, which I think is beyond chic:
